WU-ELEMENTS


Initially consisting of 5 Producers The RZA put together including himself to handle a buck of the Wu-Tang Clan members and affiliates production duties, it has come to include Bronze Nazareth and Moongod Allah who were the last ones added to the list, and possibly Cilvaringz as well. The Wu-Tang movement has expanded and these responsibilities does not lie on solely these producers anymore, hence the list  below of other producers who have also been constantly contributing to the movement.

 

4th Disciple

Other Names: Allah Divine, El-Divine
Groups: Killarmy / The Orphanage / Black Brigade / Wu Elements

4th Disciple has been in the front with the Clan since the beginning. Along with producing some of the most famous Wu-Tang tracks (such as "Wu-Gambinos", "B.I.B.L.E." and "A Better Tomorrow") he is also a member and main producer of Killarmy. Currently working on a number of projects.

 

Mathematics

Album: Love, Hell & Get Right (Da Come Up) [2003]; The Problem [2005]; Soul Of A Man [2006]; Wu-Tang Clan & Friends Unreleased [2007]; Mathematics Presents Badluck [2007]

Mathematics is the universal language. It is the study of the measurement, properties, and relationships of quantities and sets, using numbers and symbols. It can cross barriers of language, color, religion, ethnicity, race, and more. Mathematics (also known as Allah Mathematics) is also one of the most talented and up and coming DJ/producers in the Wu-Tang camp. He first began doing production work for some of the Wu-Tang solo albums, Wu-Banga 101 was an instant constant and he has never looked back.

Mathematics also named 5ft Disciple after the 4th Disciple has been in the hip-hop game for a long time. Since the 80’s, he has been DJ-ing block parties. He hooked up with his cousin Gza and eventually with Rza. Even though Rza taught him a great deal about production, Mathematics soon began to create his own signature sound, Currently the main DL for Wu-Tang Clan especially on tours and now has he's own  label, Quewisha Records.

Not forgetting to mention that he was also the originator of the now famous "Wu-Tang Logo"?

 

Inspectah Deck

Other Names: Rebel INS, Deck, Fifth Brother, Rollie Fingers
Groups:
Wu-Tang Clan / Wu Elements
Album:
Uncontrolled Substance [1999]; The Movement [2003]; The Resident Patient [2006]

Producer extraordinary, innovative rhyme style, and intelligent businessman, The RZA is the one to blame for the worldwide success of the Wu-Tang Clan. If The GZA is the head of the Clan, then The RZA is the PR man. Originally debuting on a '91 single called "Ooh, We Love You Rakeem" (publically released because it was deemed "radio friendly"), The RZA has come a long way.

The main producer of the Clan and head of the elements, he's also branched out into doing work as part of the Gravediggaz along with guest spottin on almost as many joints as Meth. The brain behind Wu-Tang Killa beez thats global collection of Mc's and still growing.  Wu-Tang is truly Forever, and The RZA is leading the way into 2G and beyond

 

Tru Master
Real Name: Derek Harris
Other Names: Persia
Groups: Wu Elements
Albums:


A truly skillful producer who got his start with Guru and Gang Starr, Tru Master has dropped some of the most recent famously dark beats, the trademark of a Wu-Tang Production. In producing "One Step" on Killah Priest's Heavy Mental and the majority of the tracks on Cappadonna's The Pillage, Tru Master has stepped up as the backbone of the recent Clan onslaught on the musical industry. In addition to owning his own production company called Persia Legacy, he has also dropped his own lyrics on the Gravediggaz' "Hidden Emotions" and his own song "Who's The Truest" off of a sampler CD put out by Guru. No matter which way you check this cat out, he's comin with some definite all around skills. An excellent part of the Clan and The Wu Elements
